KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Ulster County Executive Michael Hein said on Thursday that his 2014 includes $1.9 million for the county's not-for-profit agencies, Sheriff's Office and other departments that will be released only if the county's additional 1 percent sales tax is reinstated by Feb. 1.

In unveiling his $336.4 million spending plan for 2014, Hein said his administration has developed "a unique county version of sequestration" that calls for "a progression of spending cuts that do not kick in if timely actions are taken in Albany to contain the sales tax crisis."

That sequestration would include the following cuts:

o Contract agencies: $602,225.

o Mental health contracts: $34,000.

o Personnel adjustments (layoffs): $300,000.

o Sheriff's Office: $494,305.

o Public Works: $274,786.

o Social Services contracts: $182,000.

o UCAT buses: $35,300.

o Municipal dues: $32,451.

Hein said the sequestration plan has no financial impact to the county as long as the additional sales tax is restored no later than Feb. 1. If the sales tax is restored by then, he said, the money being held in the contingency fund would be released as budgeted.

If the sales tax isn't restored by then, Hein said, "the clock begins and permanent cuts begin to take effect."

Hein said his administration would work with the county Legislature to determine how those cuts would be implemented.

"These cuts will only need to be implemented, and then only on a sliding scale, if the state Legislature fails to act on our carefully designed legislation," Hein said.
